Jean, the switch in picture #6, I have never seen anything like it.. I don't know how that switch works and what it controlled.. I happened to see it there and thought I should get a picture of it..

And if someone could give me any info on this mounting bracket.. I want to say U-Hook mounting bracket, but I'm not 100% sure.. A lot of Tyebs (from what I figure was the middle of their production run - with bell canopies that didn't look like bells) came with these. They were a pain in the butt to hang. The "easiest" way to hang them was to attach the bracket to the motor and then use the keyhole slots to hang it from the box. You see how there are raised metal tabs on each slot to keep it from rotating back out of the large part of the hole and falling.

That's how I had to remove that fan of course.. If you notice in one picture it's still attached to the fan while on the floor...

The big grey dimmer is high watt, low noise. Very expensive.

I added the Dark Brown industrial in the Taiwanese and Hong Kong Gallery under Various Unknown.. Even though I don't like this light brown matte color of it, it's still an awesome fan. It's blades are pretty wide. I hope your gonna make videos of theses four metal bladed fans. On a wall control to see them running on slowers speeds if possible.

Thanks for the comment The-Tais
Jean, Well I did make videos.. But I didn't make videos of them at different speeds, though I did unplug the fans and video them as they are spinning down.. I normally don't take videos of different speeds unless I have a original control for the fan.. Here are the two white ones so far.. I'll get to the dark brown one tomorrow..

Another reason to dislike the finish is the fact that it isn't original... which sucks. Original finish was obviously white.

Original finish was obviously white. Really? A lot of spinners in the 1980s came with the choice of white and brown. I though that it was it's original brown color. White can be pretty boring too. If it was my fan I would have repainted it in a glossy chocolate dark brown.

Oh, you should show them running on slower speeds even if you don't have the original controller. If you don't like borrowing a vintage boxy controller from one of your others fans, you should really get on of theses quiet capacitive 3 or 4-speed quiet fan controls they sell in home centers. They make fans extremely quiet and can give the 48-56'' ones a beautiful slow low speed.

Notice the downrod, the edges of the blades and the painted-over gold band on the motor...

I was also suspicious of the brown finish. They did a decent job on the paint job though.
Jeremy, the original knockoff Brian had that you are talking about was a Codep , not an Evergo. He had both versions.

Andrew is right, I didn't notice this until he pointed out.. The inner side of the upper canopy is white also.. They did a great job, and I do like the color, but the fact that it's not original takes away all the neatness.. Oh well I'm not going to go through a long process of making it look original either.. I could see why they did this seeing how the garage was all wood and not painted.. It blended in very well because it took a few times to walk in the garage to notice it..
